Quote: I replaced the entire draglink today and all tie rods and the steering stabilizer. and it SEEMS to be cured. i definately have no more bump steer. not really sure about the DEATH WOBBLE. What do you guys think. is it just waiting to scare the crap out of me or do u think its cured?
Tie rod ends are one cause of death wobble if they go bad. In all honesty, I'd say no it's not cured. Like said above, steering stabilizers just mask the problem. But you never know, replacing the steering may have done it! Take it for a test drive, take it to 70 mph on a smooth highway and also find a pothole to hit going like 40 or so. If it still does it, go get it aligned, especially now that you messed with steering components

Check your steering box (shake the wheel and have someone listen at the pitman arm), if the internals are getting loose that could cause the wobble. anything in the steering could cause a wobble lke that, and keep in mind that as you change one part you may induce the problem in another that was weak but not the weakest part until you changed something. you can chase your tail all around the front end if its been a while since anything has been changed.

DONT BUY CHEAP PARTS if you put parts master parts in your upgraded suspension you will continue to put them in.

bump steer is primarily from a toe in or toe out condition in the alightment. if can also come from extremely bad tie rods but it usually not as bad as alignment issues.
